Summary:
The 62433 zip code area is home to two schools - Hutsonville Elementary and Junior High School and Hutsonville High School, both part of the Hutsonville CUSD 1 district. While the high school has a strong 89% four-year graduation rate, both schools exhibit concerning academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math below state averages across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, significantly higher than the state average.
Hutsonville Elementary and Junior High School serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 214 students and is ranked between 873-1202 out of over 2,000 Illinois elementary schools, with a 2-3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch at 54.67%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community. In contrast, Hutsonville High School, with an enrollment of 80 students, is ranked between 325-487 out of 697-698 Illinois high schools and also has a 2-3 out of 5 star rating, with a lower percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch at 46.25%.
While the high school has a strong graduation rate, the 2.4% dropout rate is still concerning and warrants further investigation. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at the high school level compared to the elementary/junior high suggests that resources may be disproportionately allocated, and ensuring equitable distribution of resources across all grade levels could be an area for improvement. Overall, the data highlights several areas of concern for the schools in this zip code, including academic performance, chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic challenges, and resource allocation, which could be addressed to improve educational outcomes for students in this community.
